So remember to cast your vote at http://pear.php.net/election/ and you have until the the 5th of August 2009.

There's both group elections and an an election for president that all PEAR developers can vote on. Hurry! The deadline is Wednesday, August 15th!

David Coallier has posted both a congratulations and thank you about the PEAR group elections. Congrats to those who were voted in including Joshua Eichorn, Christian Weiske and Travis Swicegood and his many thanks for being voted in as President:

My place as I consider it and as Greg mentioned on the mailing list yesterday is much more "ambassadorial" than "presidential" and being the PEAR ambassador around the world, I'll be glad to discuss, argue, improve the general idea of PEAR to anyone. I'll also be happy to discuss PEAR2 if anyone is interested but first and foremost I'll be happy to help our new PEAR Group (which I am pretty sure won't need help ) and the community.

You can find out more about the results of this year's elections on the PEAR election pages from pear.php.net.

According to this press release (as linked to by php|architect) notes the resignation of Doron Gerstel as President and CEO of Zend to move to Syneron Medical.

There has been no news of this happening publicly from Zend at the time of this article, which is two days after the press release. Few people question the important role that Doron played in raising Zend's visibility in the enterprise software sector and helping the company to obtain significant investment capital in it's formative years. One can only wonder how the management hierarchy at Zend will shuffle as a result of this surprising development.
